I got a Snapmaker U1 and while testing, printed & painted this 7 segment counter from www.printables.com/model/959686...

Just dug out some old decals from an aircraft kit and winged it with primer and masking tape, I've been using it to count the meetings I've been taking per day at work.

Spending some time learning Houdini, remade this cone design that I did 9 years ago also to test out modeling techniques. Went a little past the tutorial, exploring using using Houdini to cut out using a general modeling app for retopology + UVs + cleanup + game prep.

I posted a still from this earlier, but I have the full process breakdown from a multi-year side project to remodel a unit from Battle Aces for 3D Printing. At 70 Images and 6000 words, it's quite a read!

A little late to make the jump but I'm here now. I'm Lt_Commander from source and general games modding, and I do 3D, Tech Art, and that kind of stuff professionally. I also do photography as a hobby.
